In lieu of this, President Dr. Arif Alvi recently chaired a meeting at the Aiwan-e-Sadr, Islamabad regarding enforcement of Women’s Property Rights. While FOSPAH essentially urges women to come forward and report harassment, their latest program is an opportunity for women to acquire property rights, “if refused”.

In another video, FOSPAH has tackled the active campaign of putting women down and stopping their pursuit of empowerment, by highlighting prejudices women experience in their everyday lives.

From talking about tarnishing female dreams and emotions to mocking individual pursuits, to degrading the fight for equal opportunities and rights, FOSPAH believes in empowering women so that they may stand up and fight for their passions.

The video highlights that although women add colour to the universe, yet our emotions are belittled and portrayed as designed or fake. If we want to fight and win against oppression we are labeled mad. If we raise our voice for our rights, we are labeled outspoken. When they can’t defeat us, they point fingers at us and put us down but if raising one’s voice against injustice is madness, dreaming of equality is unreasonable, then we accept that we are mad. If reaching for the heights, and voicing a different opinion, is madness then we accept it, and we desire it.
